I was exposed for mining on Mars

Although Ferma, the mechanical ascendant of the Kasakuk civilization, has led the main fleet to disconnect from the cruising fleet base camp, the hostility with the civilizations in the solar system has not been lifted.

In the interstellar world, it is easy to want war, but it is too difficult to want peace.

Especially for two parties who had been fighting before, even communication would be very difficult.

Because of this, Ferma, who was freed from the control of the cruising fleet base camp, continued to adhere to his previous philosophy and still regarded the civilizations in the solar system as his opponents.

Since they are opponents, Fermat definitely needs to find out what the opponent's technology is.

But according to Ferma's intelligence, Luo Xiu in the solar system was a more powerful being than himself and even the cruising fleet. Of course, such an opponent cannot do so blatantly when conducting detection.

After careful consideration by Fermat, the detection was finally carried out when the fleet was speeding away.

Since the fleet had been accelerating when it left Proxima Centauri C, the time the main fleet was in contact with Luo Xiu's ship was not too long.

"How about it?"

When his own fleet had just missed the other side, Ferma asked another mechanical ascender.

"The fleet moved too fast, and only a small part of the data was obtained." The mechanical ascender who was questioned said while releasing the anti-matter annihilation bomb models in Luo Xiu's ships.

"We only got the appearance of the weapon, and we haven't been able to analyze the internal situation of the weapon."

Such an answer undoubtedly means that this detection failed, because if it is just an external model, the main fleet will not be able to produce anti-matter weapons through this.

Although the main fleet now has a large amount of material resources, they still need technology to support them before manufacturing equipment.

"But in addition to anti-material weapons, we did get some other information."

As the mechanical ascender said this, he released more detection information, "None of these ships are operated by intelligent life. In other words, all of these ships are completed through AI or remote operation."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Fermat was confused. Logically speaking, there should be intelligent life in such a huge fleet.

"Could it be called an omnic civilization?" Fermat also seemed a little excited when talking about omnic civilization. After all, although he was once a member of the cruising fleet and had dealt with many civilizations, but really speaking of omnic civilization, He hasn't seen much of it yet.

"Isn't this possible? Maybe it's just a remote operation. After all, the other party's ships are not that big."

Fermat also felt that his assistant's analysis made sense. After all, if the other party was an omnic civilization, it would be very difficult to improve its technology.

"Keep accelerating. We can't stay here. It will be a bit troublesome if the other party finds out that we are conducting detection." Ferma's guess about Luo Xiu's civilization did not last too long. After all, their first priority now is to stay away. Alpha Centauri is far away from the civilization in the solar system that is here.

"I wonder what's going on in the Cygnus spiral arm now?"

Although Ferma has been disconnected from the cruise fleet base camp, there are still a large number of members of the Kasakuk civilization in the base camp.

These members cannot escape directly from the control of the base camp like Ferma, and their current fate is very unpredictable.

"What happened to Demigod?"

If it hadn't been for Demigod's sudden warning, Ferma might still be confronting Luo Xiu and thinking about how to return to the base camp.

"Headquarters"

Ferma turned his head and looked in the opposite direction to the fleet's course. That side was the Cygnus Spiral Arm, which was also the headquarters of the cruising fleet.

At this time, when Ferma had mined a large amount of material and was moving away from Alpha Centauri, the cruising fleet base camp had completed the purge of the Ascended Council.

All members of the Ascended Council were disqualified from entering the virtual world and locked onto their ships.

As the Speaker of the Ascended Council, Demigod, who had previously sent an early warning signal to Ferma, was directly detained in solitary confinement, and his data stream was kept alone in a civilized ship.

The ordinary members in the base camp didn't even know what happened at this time. They didn't get any information at all about what happened in the Ascended Council.

They only know that a certain civilization is destroying their own star gate at this time, and the entire base camp is actively preparing for war, waiting for the arrival of the unknown civilization.

While the members of these civilizations were actively preparing for war, as the behind-the-scenes controller of the entire base camp, 'No. 1', who took control of the cruising fleet on behalf of the Cygnus civilization, was also building a civilization ship at the star gate near the base camp.

The "neutron killing" weapon of the civilization ship is extremely lethal to intelligent civilizations. If Luo Xiu had not blocked the advance of the neutron plume through the antimatter annihilation energy zone, all the blue stars in the solar system would have been destroyed by now. Most of it.

It is precisely because of this ability of civilized ships that ‘No. 1’ vigorously invested all resources in the construction of civilized ships.

Now, as long as the opponent dares to attack the base camp of the cruising fleet, what awaits the opponent is a volley of neutron plumes from a large number of civilized ships.

‘There are still three star gates away. ’

‘What kind of civilization is this? ’

At this time, Omnic Life No. 1, which controls all the star gates outside the cruising fleet, is detecting unknown civilizations through detectors everywhere.

But as soon as the opponent entered the Star Gate, he immediately seized control of the Star Gate. Before the No. 1 detector could even react, the Star Gate had already changed its doors and was directly controlled by the opponent.

Now, if No. 1 really wants to cut off from the opponent, the best way is to destroy the star gates within thirty or forty light years of the base camp to eliminate the possibility of the opponent's rapid attack.

But for No. 1, the Star Gate is also the basis for it to leave with its own master brain equipment. If the Star Gate is completely destroyed, the entire base camp will only be trapped in a star field.

Although doing so may hinder the opponent's forward speed, all civilizations in the base camp, including Bao No. 1, will not be able to escape if their side really cannot defeat the opponent.

It is precisely because of this idea that No. 1 did not destroy the nearby star gate to block the opponent. Instead, it built a civilization ship with the intention of deciding life and death through a head-on battle.

Judging from the movement speed of the unknown civilization, it only takes less than three days for the other party to pass directly through the two star gates and reach the base camp.

This was caused by No. 1 exhausting the energy of the star gate in advance before the opponent approached. If the star gate's energy had not been consumed in advance, the other party might not have needed two days to jump directly to the star gate closest to the base camp and sit on the ground.

And while No. 1 in the base camp was making various calculations, measuring the arrival route and time of the unknown civilization, the warship coming from the Great Spiral Arm was currently staying in front of a star gate, heading towards the base camp. Analyze externally transmitted signals.

At this distance, the ship has been able to derive a large number of signals related to the cruising fleet from the attenuated signal.

‘The number of civilizations exceeds 20. ’

‘The other civilization is colonizing another cantilever, and the latest colonial civilization is carbon-based aerobic life. ’

‘The commonwealth of civilizations is at war with each other. ’

‘The war ends with the defeat of the commonwealth of civilizations. ’

At this time, the content analyzed by the unknown civilization's ship was already the signal released by the base camp during internal communication decades ago.

These signals basically discussed the defeat of the advance fleet and the attack of the main fleet.

‘A powerful civilization? ’

After analyzing the information from the base camp, the ships of the unknown civilization also became interested in Luo Xiu and the Blue Star civilization.

‘Determine the Spiral Arm A civilization as the primary exploration target. ’

'The plan goes ahead. ’

This ship did not conduct analysis of the solar system for too long. After all, its most important task on this trip was to clean the cruising fleet base camp and reduce the density of civilization in the area.

'Continue to jump using the jump device. ’

In fact, this ship itself has the ability to jump on its own, but since there are a large number of star gates built in the Cygnus spiral arm, it seems to be a good choice to borrow the other party's star gate to make the jump.

At least, such a jump can destroy the opponent's jump equipment and block the opponent's activity space.

And just when the battle between the unknown civilization and the cruising fleet in the Cygnus spiral arm was about to begin, in the solar system of the Orion spiral arm, after watching the main fleet leave Alpha Centauri, Luo Xiu was also letting himself in Alpha Centauri. The ship is sailing towards Proxima b, preparing to make formal contact with this third-party civilization.

For Luo Xiu and the Blue Star civilization, the luck of this Proxima b civilization is already very good.

The other party was so close to the solar system that it was able to escape the exploration of the cruising fleet and successfully develop independently.

Although this kind of development is very slow, what most civilizations in the cruising fleet want is this kind of development, rather than being controlled by the cruising fleet and becoming a vassal of the Cygnus civilization.

"Your Majesty Commander, the fleet is approaching Proxima Centauri b."

Without the threat of the main fleet, Luo Xiu's ship quickly approached Proxima Centauri b and docked in the orbit of the planet.

The intelligent beings on the planet Proxima b were looking up at the sky at the overwhelming interstellar fleet, numbering more than 10,000.

"This situation still happened." On the surface of Proxima b, the speaker of their parliament had a sad face, and seemed not too happy about Luo Xiu's visit.

If the main fleet is confronting Luo Xiu, Proxima b can still watch the battle from the sidelines.

Now that the main fleet has withdrawn from Alpha Centauri, Luo Xiu's target has fallen on himself. At this time, the pressure on Proxima b civilization suddenly increased.

"What will it be like?" The speaker was still very worried about the new era that his civilization was about to usher in.

Whether the future will usher in the darkest moment or move towards new life depends only on this contact.

The Proxima b civilization developed for an unknown number of years before it finally developed to where it is now. They did not hesitate to evolve the ability to evaporate their own water when the star orbit invaded. Even though this ability was extremely damaging to themselves, they still persisted for the continuation of the race.

After entering the starry sky, the Proxima b civilization was thinking about finding a new home all the time.

As the closest star system to Proxima Centauri b, the solar system is certainly among the goals of Proxima Centauri b civilization.

Before the advance fleet arrived in the solar system, they even locked two planets in the solar system as their base after relocation.

These two planets are Mars controlled by Luo Xiu and his home planet Blue Star.

However, when the advance fleet arrived and fought with the civilizations in the solar system, the Proxima Centauri b civilization far away in Alpha Centauri also noticed the unusual movements in the solar system through various fluctuations and signals.

After this change occurred, Proxima b civilization's desire to immigrate suddenly dimmed. They even directly stopped observing the solar system and stopped discussing immigration to the solar system.

But what they didn't expect was that even if they no longer wanted to enter the solar system, the civilization in the solar system would find them.

And this time, two came directly. The arrival of the cruising fleet and Luo Xu at the same time made the already desperate Proxima b civilization even worse.

The civilization that was in the midst of a technological explosion even experienced technological stagnation for a time. If it weren't for Luo Xiu's continued support, ships made of 'strong interaction force' materials might not have appeared.

"The opponent's ship has landed!"

While the members of the Proxima Centauri b civilization were discussing among themselves, Luo Xiu's fleet had already sent a large number of orbiting spacecraft, which dropped from the planet's orbit to the surface of the planet.

"Buzz!"

These orbiting shuttles made a vibrating sound after entering the atmosphere of Proxima b. When they stopped steadily in the largest city on the planet Proxima b, a large number of robots of various shapes also jumped out of the orbiting shuttles. Come down.

"Welcome, Your Excellency."

After seeing this, the speaker of the Proxima b civilization quickly stepped forward and greeted the robots.

Although the speaker also knows that the robot is not the real appearance of the other party, since the other party represents the civilization in the solar system, of course they still need to be polite.

"We will establish a research base inside your planet."

"The research results will be shared with you."

"Ten years from now there will be a joint meeting on Neptune in the solar system. Do you have any candidates to enter the solar system to attend the meeting?"
